Lifting the MJ and swapping axles this weekend. That should go relatively smoothly.

Other than that...

Have Billy make rock rails and rear bumper
Order a new longer driveshaft
Install CB radio
Install C-Rok, front bumper, and winch
Install York OBA
Swap motors

I probably won't get EVERYTHING done. I'll get it trail-ready by Big Bear though. Even if I don't, I'll still drive up and ride with somebody.

But everything HAS to be done in time to run the 'Con in June.

My biggest issues to fix:

Steering again
realignment / tire rotation
bend my exhaust back so it doesnt rattle against leaf spring

I doubt I'll ever get enough time to do it.

I'd like to redo all the steering and trackbar stuff at some point

I really don't have to do anything, but I'd like to get some minor shight done.

It would be nice to replace the seat belts.
Replace CB antenna.
I guess I could replace the speakers, but the Jeep isn't quiet enough to enjoy the radio while driving anyway, and when we are parked the radio just isn't needed.

Maybe some work on the tow rig though.

:dunno:

Oh yeah, insurance and smog are on the list. Registration is paid but waiting on smog and insurance to get stickers to drive legally.

Looks like I will only get the fluids changed.

The ball joints and unit bearing will have to wait until after this weekend!

I've been bustin' my butt trying to get my son's XJ up and running for this trip. I hopped in and turned the key.......nothing. Dead battery, so dead in fact that I can't even give it a jump. OH well, Bonnie is out of town and will be picking up a new one for it.
Should be ready to go by Thursday!!

Well, got the 3 link installed, sliders will be here tomorrow, probably won't be on in time though. Didn't have time/money to do gears so the 44 couldn't go in yet. I should have the BPEs on up front, possibly the shackles too.
